In tandem with the launch of the Boxee Box, the folks at Boxee have announced brand new software for the streaming solution.

New features like Vevo and Vice apps as well as an Accuweather
application are live, but it's Netflix streaming – the one big feature
initially missing from the Box – that's getting people really excited.
Not only will Netflix launch on the Boxee Box before the end of the
year, but future Boxee controllers will even sport a dedicated Netflix
button.

Of course, the Boxee Box will still do everything else you were
promised. It handles a huge variety of digital media files including
just about every video codec you could ask for. It can handle a 1080p
resolution and it can even pass through 7.1 channel audio to your
receiver.

In addition to all that, Boxee has announced that a Hulu Plus app will
be on the way soon. An official release date has yet to be revealed for
that.
